'You and your newspaper have always been most helpful and friendly to me in my connection with Cambridgeshire.' LETTER TWO (23 December 1916, 24 Queen Anne's Gate, S.W., two pages, octavo): A long and important letter, casting light on relations between Asquith and Lloyd George. Illness has prevented his replying sooner. 'I had thought of making use of your generous offer and of explaining in the columns of your valuable paper why I am not a member of Government; but I have come to the conclusion that I will say nothing. After all, I do not wish to do the slightest thing to distract public attention in Cambridgeshire from the war. [.] | The old Government is now dead, and it is the duty of everyone to support the new one. [.] | My own belief, founded on many, many years of friendship both with the late [Asquith] and with the present Prime Minister [Lloyd George], is that no country ever had a better combination than the two men. I believe, too, that this combination would have continued uninterruptedly and successfully had it not been that each had friends, political and personal, who did not believe in the other and were continually pulling them apart. I believe that Asquith is the best Prime Minister this country could have, but, failing him, the present Prime Minister has my enthusiastic support, [.]'.

'It is quite true that my stay at Clifton was a record of permanent ill-health due to the fact that I was crammed to enter the school at 12 whereas the proper age was 13.' More biographical details follow. 'Before entering Parliament, but after I had been adopted as the prospective candidate for West Cambridgeshire, I read Law but was never called.'
